Question…Did Simms and Yates play together at Blackpool ?

Happy with this and at £3.5 million+ a good fee for a 22 year old who has proved he knows where the back of the net. BUT he is not Vik Gyokeres so let’s not compare the but some will, Simms will be his own man of that I’m sure. The important thing now is who else comes in especially up front.

No Doug give Robins all of it and bit more if need be, that’s the least he can do so in a way the big Swede influences a promotion push. As for Vik good luck to him I think he will go higher and maybe with the sell on clause earn us another few million.

The fee is okay and hopefully Robins can do plenty with it, but this is also a sad day for me, Gyokeres and Cov just worked and as a player he was a beast and played a lot of time last season on his own up front and still delivered 22 goals and 12 assists and in a side blighted by injury. These...

Tackles ?? Who on here remembers the Roy Barry tackle on the Sheffield Wednesday player his name escapes me, Barry must have been two foot high and horizontal, breaking his own leg the crack heard all over the ground, he was cautioned on the stretcher. Thinking about the Wednesday player might...

As you say if Palmer plays regular and to his potential he would be ideal in centre-mid.

Always hard to compare players didn’t move round that much. George Hudson should have been top level centre-forward no doubt, his skill level was incredible and scored all sorts of goals, left foot. right foot, headers, would cost a few million in todays game.

We had 25k home fans for Birmingham & Middlesbrough will be interesting what if anything they do with blocks 10 to 13. 4000 away at £25 is 2 million quid over the year so let’s see what they do.

Talk of £10million for him, if the rumours are true should we go for him or this lad Liam Kitchin cheaper option or both.

And will there be a sell out limit to leave room for walk-ups etc ?

Just read on Telegraph site 17500 STs sold, magnificent if true. Can we get to 20k ?

When you look at our midfield on paper collectively and individually we are okay but I think a top end centre-mid I’d go for.

I agree replacing Vik is a big ask, we may have to tweek our game a bit probably depending who else we get.

Miles Leaburn a name that’s just cropped up but he’s only 19 so would be one with the future in mind, you need them too, but at 6ft 5in. and built accordingly perhaps worth a punt as a fourth striker, of the names linked Jerry Yates appeals to me the most but will cost a fee.

I suppose in a way it suits though I’m sure if Simms doesn’t grab a couple of hat-tricks in his first three months you’ll be on his case knocking him

I admit at first I wasn’t sure about Simms but looking at his highlights I’m okay with it but we need another and if as I expect him too Vik moves on imo we need three, Yates would cost, Whittaker a freebie, well no fee, depends who MR sees as the better partner for Simms. add to that Godden and...

What if Vik doesn’t leave ?

For now.

We need another to replace Walker any ideas ?

Who have you heard that from?
